It's still war between Brown and Miliband
Fraser Nelson 5:30pm
David Miliband should remember: it is still war between him and Gordon Brown. Thinks he’s Foreign Secretary? Thinks he can go around talking up Nato protection to former Soviet states in speeches like these? Well, Team Brown has something to say about it. Here is Nick Brown, deputy chief whip and Brownite muscleman in a Guardian article:
“Cameron urges Nato to admit Georgia. Nato is a mutual defence pact… .Do we really mean to commit ourselves to all-out war against the Russian Federation if something like this happens again?”And this government member goes on:
David Miliband said in his speech that “it's very significant that Nato committed not just to Georgia but also to the Ukraine that they would join other formerly, so-called, captive states of the former Warsaw Pact in Nato. And what we're going to agree today is a special mechanism that will bind Nato and Georgia together”.“If western hawks really are advocating Nato membership for every small country that borders the Russian Federation, even a government far more charitably disposed towards Nato than the present Russian one is going to see the move as a direct challenge.”
Remember, Brown regards politics not as running the country, but the destruction of his enemies. Prepare for more of this chaos, specifically in “economic recovery plan” which the Treasury don’t seem to know anything about. Things could get very messy indeed.

August 20th, 2008 6:22pmDoes anyone in this country actually care about 'what Labour says' anymore?
The Labour Party are the proverbial fly waiting for the windshield on the freeway (Genesis: Lamb Lies Down...)
When the speeding car of the British Electorate arrives at the General Election; they will me smashed to atoms to become just a political smear on the verge of history.
It can't come soon enough!

Thank you Mr Nelson.
Those words have the measure of Brown and are the reason he is not fit to hold the office of PM.

Is N Brown the new J Prescott?

August 20th, 2008 7:44pmThe comning economic recovery plan is doomed to failure. The de-leveraging will contiune with house prices crashing and unemployment increasing. The party is over and spiking the punch a tad more will not help the reeling party goers. The buy-to-let posse will have anxiety levels going through the roof. Our mega banks are flat broke and shrinking, or being taken over. UK Plc believed the Brown kool aid and now the anger is bursting through.
There is no hope - he is probably having a nervous breakdown and god I'd love to be his shrink so that I could listen to the vanity pour from his lips. TB was Midas - GB is the Minotaur.

In reference to Nick Brown, that's a joke, right??

August 20th, 2008 8:41pmTerrible indictment of just how bad these muppets are.
The crisis has at least flushed out the soviet moles still lurking in New Labour.
Fraser's last paragraph sums up the vindictiveness and destructiveness of the Clunking Muppet In Chief particularly aptly.

The EU Milibands against the Socialist Browns.
